The Scope of the InspectionAll components designated for inspection in the ASHI standards of practice are inspected, except as may be noted in the

"Limitations" section within the report. This inspection will not disclose compliance with regulatory requirements (codes,

regulation laws, ordinances, etc.)

This inspection is visual only. Only a representative sample of the building and system components was viewed. No

destructive testing or dismantling of building components was performed. The strength, adequacy, effectiveness, or

efficiency of any system or components was not determined. Not all recommended improvements will be identified in this

inspection. Unexpected repairs should still be anticipated. This inspection should not be considered a guarantee or

warranty of any kind. The purpose of our inspection is to provide a general overview of the structure reflecting the

conditions present at the time of this inspection. The inspection is performed by visual means only, reflecting only the

opinions of the inspector. Nothing in the report, and no opinion of the inspector, should be construed as advice to

purchase, or to not purchase, the property. It is the goal of this inspection to put the buyer in a better position to make a

buying decision

Our inspection does not address, and is not intended to address, the possible presence of hazardous plants or animals or

danger from known and unknown environmental pollutants such as, but not limited to, asbestos, mold, radon gas, lead,

urea formaldehyde, underground storage tanks, soil contamination and other indoor and outdoor substances, water

contamination, toxic or flammable chemicals, water or airborne related illness or disease, and all other similar or

potentially harmful substances and conditions. This property was not inspected for the presence or absence of health

related molds or fungi. We are neither qualified, authorized nor licensed to inspect for health related molds or fungi. If you

desire information about the presence or absence health related molds, you should contact the appropriate specialist. Be

aware that many materials used in building construction may potentially contain hazardous substances. Furthermore,

other environmental concerns may exist elsewhere. An environmental specialist should be contacted if additional

information is desired about these issues.

PLEASE NOTE: Important disclosure information and other inspection reports may exist. All present and prior

disclosures along with other inspection reports should be reviewed and any adverse conditions and/or concerns that may

not be mentioned in our report should be addressed prior to the close of escrow. Furthermore, there may be conditions

known by the seller that have not been disclosed to us.

PLEASE NOTE: Work performed by others will be reinspected, upon request, for a fee of $195.00 for each trip out to the

property.

Pictures are provided to assist in clarifying some of the findings made in the report. No relative importance should be

placed on these pictures. There are likely to be significant comments that do not have pictures associated with them.

Please read the report thoroughly.

Structure

COMMENTS:

RECOMMENDATIONS/OBSERVATIONS - '!' indicates an immediate improvement recommendation item.

Foundation cracking and/or movement was observed in the foundation walls in the crawl space. The rate of

movement cannot be predicted during a one-time inspection. A thorough evaluation of this condition is beyond our

qualifications. For additional information we recommend a licensed foundation specialist be retained. (See Photo 27)

! 1.

One or more girders, piers and/or post at various areas of the crawl space have been altered and added improperly.

The existing configuration indicated improper design and/or workmanship. We recommend repair or replacement, in

accordance with present standards. It is recommended that a qualified licensed contractor be consulted for further

advice on structural improvements. (See Photo 22) (See Photo 23)

! 2.

Wood/soil contacts at the pier posts in the crawl space should be eliminated. This condition is conducive to rot and

wood boring insect activity. We recommend a minimum clearance of six inches be maintained between the soil and

the bottom of the wood line. (See Photo 24)

! 3.

Water stains were evident in the attic. This could indicate leakage through the roof covering. We recommend the

services of a licensed roofing contractor to further evaluate this condition. (See Photo 18)

! 4.

There is a condition known as efflorescence on portions of the foundation walls. This fuzzy material is a salt deposit

left when moisture in the foundation evaporates on the inside of the foundation. This indicates an occasional surplus

of moisture on the outside of the foundation. Steps could be taken to improve the exterior drainage (See “Roofing”

section downspout locations for additional comments/recommendations in regard to this condition).

5.

All debris and/or trash should be removed from the crawl space. This will aid in future inspections.6.

There is evidence of moisture entry and periodic accumulation of water in the crawl space. This condition may vary

seasonally and/or with precipitation intensity. This condition should be monitored to determine if excessive moisture is

present. If excessive moisture develops, upgrading of the drainage system should then be considered. The owner

should consult a licensed soils specialist for further information.

7.

It would be wise to consider incorporating a moisture barrier on the crawl space floor throughout. The application of a

moisture barrier membrane will help provide additional protection against fungus damage to sub area-structure

flooring and related components. With expansive soil conditions existing in the region the application of a moisture

barrier will contribute to providing a level of soil stability.

8.

The wood members under the front porch and kitchen show evidence of water damage. We recommend the services

of a licensed structural pest control operator for investigation of this condition. (See Photo 19)

! 9.

The floor members show evidence of water stains under the bathrooms and/or kitchen area. The area is now dry and

the stains appear to be from past leaks. We recommend periodic inspection of this area for evidence of active leakage

and repairs if necessary.

10.

Structural components concealed behind finished surfaces could not be inspected.•

Only a representative sampling of visible structural components was inspected.•

Furniture and/or storage restricted access to some of the structural components.•

This is a visual inspection to the accessible areas only. Assessing the structural integrity of a building is beyond the scope

of a typical inspection. A certified professional engineer is recommended where there are structural concerns about the

building.

The attic was viewed from the attic access hatch only due to insulation covering the wood members. If further

inspection of this area is desired catwalks or planks will need to be installed over the exposed ceiling joists. When

access has been provided we will return and further inspect this area.

•

Insulation within the roof attic cavity obstructed the view of some structural members, plumbing and electrical

components.•



Roofing

COMMENTS:


Due to the height of the chimney and/or presence of a spark arrestor which was not removed during our examination,

the interior of the chimney was not inspected. We recommend the advise and servicing of a licensed masonry

contractor or fireplace specialist.

1.

Debris was noted inside the gutters. We recommend the downspouts and gutters be cleaned out.2.

The downspouts discharge water adjacent to the structure. Water should be directed to flow at least 5 feet away from

the building at the point of discharge. The installation of underground drainage where applicable will help control

surface drainage.

3.

Prior repairs to the roofing are evident. For further evaluation of these repairs we recommend a licensed roofing

contractor be consulted. (See Illustration 2J)

4.

This is a visual inspection to the accessible areas only. Roofing life expectancies can vary depending on several factors.

Any estimates on remaining life are approximations only. This assessment of the roof does not preclude the possibility of

leakage. Leakage can develop at any time and may depend on rain intensity, wind direction, ice build up, etc.

LIMITATIONS:

We recommend reviewing a roof inspection report performed by a licensed roof inspector on this structure.

MAINTENANCE ITEMS & GENERAL INFORMATION

There is no functional garage or covered parking space on this property. Some jurisdictions require at least one

covered parking area. No action is required, but the lack of a garage may impact the issuance of permits for future

remodeling and/or additions.

13.

This home was constructed without the use of a weep screed at the base of the stucco. Although this was an

accepted construction method it can allow condensation to build up and not drain properly. For further information we

recommend appropriate trades be consulted.

Electrical

COMMENTS:


Exposed electrical connections or open junction boxes at the crawlspace should be corrected. All electrical

connections should be made inside approved junction boxes fitted with proper cover plates. (See Photo 21)

! 1.

Several of the interior outlets and/or switches are loose in their boxes. We recommend a general tightening and "tune-

up" of all of the loose receptacles.

2.

The missing switch cover plates at various areas should be replaced.3.

The missing outlet cover plates at various areas should be replaced. Based upon our inspection of a representative

number of outlets we recommend checking every outlet to make sure they all have covers.

4.

One or more of the light fixture bulbs are missing at various areas. We recommend all missing bulbs be replaced and

proper operation of the light fixture be verified.

5.

The loose light fixture in the laundry room should be repaired or replaced. (See Photo 16) ! 6.

One or more outlets at the front room and bathroom have reversed polarity, i.e. the hot and neutral connection inside

the outlet are wired backwards. These outlets and the circuit should be investigated and corrected. Based upon our

inspection of a representative number of outlets, we recommend testing of every outlet at a later date. Repairs or

rewiring are recommended at all deficient locations. (See Illustration 4M) (See Photo 10)

! 7.


The service ground wire runs into the enclosed wall, therefore it was inaccessible and determining its method of

grounding connections to the structure was not noted at this time. This note is for general information only.

8.

Arc fault circuit breakers were noted in the main or branch electric circuit panel. Arc fault breakers help protect against

fires caused by arcing wires and are designed to trip by sensing a short that causes a massive amount of electricity to

pass through the circuit.

9.

DISCRETIONARY IMPROVEMENTS AND/OR UPGRADES

Additional outlets in some areas of the home may be desirable.10.

No exterior 120 volt outlet was noted on the structure. Although not required as an upgrade we recommend the

installation of an exterior rated outlet be considered.

11.

The installation of ground fault circuit interrupter "GFCI" devices is advisable on exterior, garage, bathroom, laundry,

and some kitchen outlets. Any whirlpool or swimming pool equipment should also be fitted with "GFCI"s. A ground

fault circuit interrupter "GFCI" offers protection from shock or electrocution. Please note that "GFCI" may already be in

one or more of these areas. See "description" section above for exact location of any "GFCI" which may be present on

this property. (See Illustration 4L)

COMMENTS:


INTERIOR

The installation of smoke detectors where missing or removed is required for added safety. (See Photo 9) ! 1.

Two floor thresholds at the laundry room floor is missing or improper. This difference in floor height creates a trip

hazard. We recommend a threshold be installed at this floor transition to eliminate this condition. (See Photo 12)

! 2.

One or more interior door knobs, latches or hinge hardware is missing at the bedroom rear door. We recommend all

missing hardware be replaced to restore full operation. (See Photo 11)

! 3.

California law requires that all homes have a State Fire Marshall approved Carbon Monoxide Detector be installed

outside of the sleeping areas in the hallway and on each level of the home including basements. At the time of this

inspection a Carbon Monoxide Detector could not be located. We recommend consulting with the owner to see if a

Carbon Monoxide Detector exists and if not they should be installed in all required locations. (See Photo 9)

! 4.

Some of the interior floors were noted to squeak when walked on. This does not affect the functional use of the floor.

Squeaks can usually be eliminated by additional attachment of the subfloor to the floor joist.

5.

Difficult to operate or non-functional window latches/locks in the front bedroom should be cleaned, adjusted and/or

repaired for increased security and full use of these areas.

6.

The fireplace chimney should be cleaned and inspected prior to the close of escrow. (See Illustration 9J)7.

One or more interior closet doors have loose, damaged, and/or missing hardware at the rear bedroom. We

recommend that the tracks, wheels and/or latches be adjusted or replaced to restore full operation.

8.

The operation of some of the sliding windows is rough. We recommend they be cleaned, lubricated and adjusted for

smoother operation.

9.

One or more interior doors do not latch properly. We recommend that hinges, latches and strike plates be adjusted to

restore full operation.

10.

Past repairs were noted in the interior of the home. We recommend consultation with the sellers regarding the reason

for the repairs and what permits and inspections were obtained to complete the work.

11.

The waste disposer responded to normal operator controls, however, was unusually noisy. The unit may be nearing

the end of its useful service life. For attention to the conditions noted and/or cost estimates, if necessary, we

recommend the advice of a qualified appliance technician.

12.

Minor cracks and/or erosion of the rear wall of the fireplace are normal and should not be of a concern in the

immediate future unless or until the bricks become deeply eroded or loose.

13.

It may be desirable to replace the window screens where missing or damaged.14.

There is evidence of Vermin activity in the attic and crawlspace. It is likely that this infestation is also in inaccessible

areas. The owner is advised to contact the appropriate tradesperson for any remedial measures necessary.

The base and/or side of the kitchen cabinet sink shelf is delaminated and shows evidence of past moisture in this

area. This is mainly a cosmetic consideration and repair of this condition is optional. In any case, this area should be

periodically monitored for future leaks from the sink and/or plumbing fixtures.

BATHROOMS

A gap was noted at the escutcheons at the hall bathroom. We recommend sealing this trim piece for a better

appearance and to avoid leakage in this area.

INTERIOR

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:

Issues Based on the age of this home, there is a possibility the structure may contain asbestos such as ceiling

texture, insulation on the distribution piping and/or transit piping and siding. This can only be verified by laboratory

analysis. The Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) reports that asbestos represents a health hazard if “friable”

damaged, crumbling, or in any state that allows the release of fibers. If replacement necessitates the removal of the

acoustic ceiling or insulation, a specialist should be engaged. If any sections of this insulation are indeed friable, or

become friable over time, a specialist should be engaged. Further guidance is available from the Environmental

Protection Agency (E.P.A.). Due to the age of construction, it is likely that there are other materials within the home

that contain asbestos but are not identified by this inspection report.

18.

The evaluation of the thermal pane windows ("dual pane/glazed") is limited to accessible windows exhibiting

noticeable conditions at the time of our inspection, such as condensation and/or evidence of moisture developing

between the panes of glass. Due to the known design and/or characteristics associated with thermal pane windows,

conditions may be discovered at a later date, however seal failure can occur at any time.

19.

KITCHEN

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can result from a faulty fuel burning furnace, range, water heater,

space heater or wood stove. Proper maintenance of these appliances is the best way to reduce the risk of carbon

monoxide poisoning. For more information, consult the Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC at

www.cpsc.gov for further guidance.

20.

Furniture, storage, appliances and/or wall hangings restricted the inspection of the interior.•

No access was gained to the wall cavities of the home.•

Kitchen appliances were operated unless noted otherwise. However they were not inspected for installation according

to manufacturer specifications and were not evaluated for performance, efficiency or adequacy during their operation.

No refrigerators whether "built in" or portable are operated, inspected or tested.

•

All appliances not "built in" to the structure such as washing machine, dryer, refrigerator and/or countertop microwaves

were not inspected and are excluded from this report. No refrigerators whether "built in" or portable are operated,

inspected or tested.

Testing of the oven cleaning function is beyond the scope of this inspection. For proper operation and testing of this

function we recommend consultation with the existing homeowner.•

Testing of the oven cleaning function is beyond the scope of this inspection. For proper operation and testing of this

function we recommend consultation with the existing homeowner.•

This is a visual inspection to the accessible areas only. Assessing the quality of interior finishes is highly subjective.

Issues such as cleanliness, cosmetic flaws, quality of materials, architectural appeal and color are outside the scope of

this inspection. Comments are general, except where functional concerns exist. Due to texturing and painting of interior

surfaces there is no possible way of determining point of origin of any gypsum (sheetrock) material without destructive

testing. HomeGuard Incorporated does not perform any destructive testing. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide

detectors were not manually tested. The sensors of these units are not tested. Both smoke detectors and carbon

monoxide detectors have a limited life span and should be replaced according to the manufactures instructions.

Maintenance Advice

UPON TAKING OWNERSHIP

After taking ownership of a new home, there are some maintenance and safety issues that should be addressed

immediately. The following checklist should help you undertake these improvements.

Change the locks on all exterior entrances, for improved security.

Check that all windows and doors are secure. Improve window hardware as necessary. Security rods can be added

to sliding windows and doors. Considerations could also be given to a security system.

Install smoke detectors on each level of the home. Ensure that there is a smoke detector outside all sleeping areas.

Replace batteries on any existing smoke detectors and test them. Make a note to replace batteries again in one year.

Create a plan of action in the event of a fire in your home. Ensure that there is an operable window or door in

every room of the house. Consult with your local fire department regarding fire safety issues and what to do in

the event of a fire.

Examine driveways and walkways for trip hazards. Undertake repairs where necessary.

Examine the interior of the home for trip hazards. Loose or torn carpeting and flooring should be repaired.

Undertake improvements to all stairways, decks, porches and landings where there is a risk of falling or stumbling.

Review your home inspection report for any items that require immediate improvement or further investigation.

Address these areas as required.

Install rain caps and vermin screens on all chimney flues, as necessary.

Investigate the location of the main shut-offs for the plumbing, heating and electrical systems. If you attend the home

inspection, these items have been pointed out to you.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

EVERY MONTH

Check that fire extinguisher(s) are fully charged. Re-charge if necessary.

Examine heating/cooling air filters and replace or clean as necessary.

Inspect and clean humidifiers and electronic air cleaners.

If the house has hot water heating, bleed radiator valves.

Clean gutters and downspouts. Ensure that downspouts are secure, and that the discharge of the downspouts is

appropriate. Remove debris from window wells.

Carefully inspect the condition of shower enclosures. Repair or replace deteriorated grout and caulk. Ensure that

water is not escaping the enclosure during showering. Check below all plumbing fixtures for evidence of leakage.

Repair or replace leaking faucets or shower heads.

Secure loose toilets, or repair flush mechanisms that become troublesome.

SPRING AND FALL

Examine the roof for evidence of damage to roof covering, flashings and chimneys.

Look in the attic (if accessible) to ensure that roof vents are not obstructed. Check for evidence of leakage,

condensation or vermin activity. Level out insulation if needed.

Trim back tree branches and shrubs to ensure that they are not in contact with the house.

Inspect the exterior walls and foundation for evidence of damage, cracking or movement. Watch for bird nests or other

vermin or insect activity.

Survey the basement and/or crawl space walls for evidence of moisture seepage.

Look at overhead wires coming to the house. They should be secure and clear of trees or other obstructions.

Ensure that the grade of the land around the house encourages water to flow away from the foundation.

Inspect all driveways, walkways, decks, porches, and landscape components for evidence of deterioration, movement

or safety hazards.

Clean windows and test their operation. Improve caulking and weather-stripping as necessary. Watch for evidence

of rot in wood windows frames. Paint and repair window sills and frames as necessary.

Test all ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) devices, as identified in the inspection report.

Shut off isolating valves for exterior hose bibs in the fall, if below freezing temperatures are anticipated.

Test the Temperature and Pressure Relief (TPR) Valve on water heaters.

Inspect for evidence of wood boring insect activity. Eliminate any wood/soil contact around the perimeter of the home.

Test the overhead garage door opener, to ensure that the auto-reverse mechanism is responding properly. Clean and

lubricate hinges, rollers and tracks on overhead doors.

Replace or clean exhaust hood filters.

Clean, inspect and/or service all appliances as per the manufacturer's recommendations.

ANNUALLY

Replace smoke detector batteries.

Have the heating, cooling and water heater systems cleaned and serviced.

Have chimneys inspected and cleaned. Ensure that rain caps and vermin screens are secure.

Examine the electrical panels, wiring and electrical components for evidence of overheating. Ensure that all

components are secure. Flip the breakers on and off to ensure that they are not sticky.

If the house utilizes a well, check and service the pump and holding tank. Have the water quality tested. If the

property has a septic system, have the tank inspected (and pumped as needed).

If your home is in an area prone to wood destroying insects (termites, carpenter ants, etc.), have the home

inspected by a licensed specialist. Preventive treatments may be recommended in some cases.

PREVENTION IS THE BEST APPROACH

Although we've heard it many times, nothing could be more true than the old cliche "an ounce of prevention is worth a

pound of cure." Preventative maintenance is the best way to keep your house in great shape. It also reduces the risk of

unexpected repairs and improves the odds of selling your house at fair market value, when the time comes.Please feel free to contact our office should you have any questions regarding the operation or maintenance of your

home. Enjoy your home!

Roof Inspection Report



Kirkland, WA 98033

468 60th Street, Oakland Page 1 of 4

The roof of the dwelling at the above property has been inspected by a qualified inspector employed by HomeGuard Incorporated. The professional opinion of the inspector contained in this report is solely an opinion and does not constitute a warranty or guarantee. The inspector has inspected all exterior roof components and documented in general terms the type of roof, its intended life and overall condition at the time of this inspection. Where accessible, HomeGuard Incorporated has noted all conditions that may compromise any inspected roof component’s ability to shed water and/or realize its intended life. Verification of actual roof performance and/or troubleshooting of existing conditions, such as water testing, are NOT included in the scope of our inspection unless specifically requested and mentioned in our report. This inspection should not be considered a guarantee of actual roof performance, as performance is contingent upon the condition of internal system components not accessible to our inspector. This roof was not inspected for conformance to local building codes. The inspector has not inspected the attic area nor did the inspector perform a visual interior inspection looking for past or present roof performance issues. All present and prior disclosures along with other inspection reports should be reviewed and addressed prior to the close of escrow.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:Unless specifically mentioned in this report, the following are NOT included in this report: decks, balconies, detached structures, patio covers, out buildings, sheds and bonus rooms. The structure is a one story single family residence. The roof is a dimensional composition shingle, tan in color and is the 1st layer. The typical life expectancy of this roofing material is 25 to 30 years. The pitch of the roof appears to be 4:12-low slope. The roof shows the wear characteristics of being approximately 10-15 year(s) old. The overall condition of the roof is fair. The estimated remaining serviceable life of the roof is 10 years. The rear low slope roof area is built up modified bitumen in fair condition.

SCOPE OF THE INSPECTION:

FINDINGS:Previous repairs have been performed to the roofing system at the field, noted repair(s) were performed improperly and may allow water entry into the structure. (See Photo 1)

1.

RECOMMENDATION:Repair the areas of prior repair at the field, as needed to make water tight.

The plumbing jack flashing are not adequately sealed at the collars. (See Photo 2)2.

RECOMMENDATION:Seal all plumbing vent collars where needed to ensure a watertight condition.

There are damaged shingles in the field. (See Photo 3)3.

RECOMMENDATION:Install a metal shim to cover hole and replace any damaged shingles.

The utility flashing is not properly integrated into the roofing system, the water shedding ability of this area cannot be guaranteed. (See Photo 4)

4.

RECOMMENDATION:Properly integrate the utility flashing into the roof system, where needed to ensure a water impermeable condition.

There are areas of the roof surface that have been sealed with mastic. The mastic is showing signs of wear and tear and must be resealed. Mastic is usually used around skylights, pipe vents, corner seams and other penetrations to help ensure a watertight seal. The typical serviceable life of mastic before it begins to crack is 3 to 5 years. (See Photo 5)

5.

RECOMMENDATION:Apply new coat of mastic at areas of the roof that have been previously sealed with mastic or where needed to ensure a watertight seal.

Report No. 441527HomeGuard Incorporated 58 Wright Brothers Avenue, Livermore, CA 94551 (855) 331-1900

NOTICE TO OWNER - LICENSING

If a Home Inspection has been or will be performed by HomeGuard, Incorporated on this property, the following consumer disclosure applies:(A) The same company that performs the roof inspection and roof repairs will perform the home inspection on the same property.(B) Any repairs that are authorized by the consumer are for the repairs identified in the roofing contractor’s roof inspection report and no repairs identified in the home inspection are authorized or allowed as specified in the roof inspection.(C) The consumer has the right to seek a second opinion.

NOTICE TO OWNER - MECHANICS LIEN“Under the California Mechanics’ Lien Law, any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, supplier, or other person or entity who helps to improve your property, but is not paid for his or her work or supplies, has a right to place a lien on your home, land, or property where the work was performed and to sue you in court to obtain payment. This means that after a court hearing, your home, land, and property could be sold by a court officer and the proceeds of the sale used to satisfy what you owe. This can happen even if you have paid your contractor in full if the contractor’s subcontractors, laborers, or suppliers remain unpaid. To preserve their rights to file a claim or lien against your property, certain claimants such as subcontractors or material suppliers are each required to provide you with a document called a “Preliminary Notice.” Contractors and laborers who contract with owners directly do not have to provide such notice since you are aware of their existence as an owner. A preliminary notice is not a lien against your property. Its purpose is to notify you of persons or entities that may have a right to file a lien against your property if they are not paid. In order to perfect their lien rights, a contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or laborer must file a mechanics’ lien with the county recorder which then becomes a recorded lien against your property. Generally, the maximum time allowed for filing a mechanics’ lien against your property is 90 days after substantial completion of your project.

TO INSURE EXTRA PROTECTION FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR PROPERTY, YOU MAY WISH TO TAKE ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING STEPS:(1) Require that your contractor supply you with a payment and performance bond (not a license bond), which provides that the bonding company will either complete the project or pay damages up to the amount of the bond. This payment and performance bond as well as a copy of the construction contract should be filed with the county recorder for your further protection. The payment and performance bond will usually cost from 1 to 5 percent of the contract amount depending on the contractor’s bonding ability. If a contractor cannot obtain such bonding, it may indicate his or her financial incapacity.

(2) Require that payments be made directly to subcontractors and material suppliers through a joint control. Funding services may be available, for a fee, in your area which will establish voucher or other means of payment to your contractor. These services may also provide you with lien waivers and other forms of protection. Any joint control agreement should include the addendum approved by the registrar.

(3) Issue joint checks for payment, made out to both your contractor and subcontractors or material suppliers involved in the project. The joint checks should be made payable to the persons or entities which send preliminary notices to you. Those persons or entities have indicated that they may have lien rights on your property, therefore you need to protect yourself. This will help to insure that all persons due payment are actually paid.

(4) Upon making payment on any completed phase of the project, and before making any further payments, require your contractor to provide you with unconditional “Waiver and Release” forms signed by each material supplier, subcontractor, and laborer involved in that portion of the work for which payment was made. The statutory lien releases are set forth in exact language in Section 3262 of the Civil Code. Most stationery stores will sell the “Waiver and Release” forms if your contractor does not have them. The material suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers that you obtain releases from are those persons or entities who have filed preliminary notices with you. If you are not certain of the material suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers working on your project, you may obtain a list from your contractor. On projects involving improvements to a single-family residence or a duplex owned by the individuals, the persons signing these releases lose the right to file a mechanics’ lien claim against your property. In other types of construction, this protection may still be important, but may not be as complete. To protect yourself under this option, you must be certain that all material suppliers, subcontractors, and laborers have signed the “Waiver and Release” form. If a mechanics’ lien has been filed against your property, it can only be voluntarily released by a recorded “Release of Mechanics’ Lien” signed by the person or entity that filed the mechanics’ lien against your property unless the lawsuit to enforce the lien was not timely filed. You should not make any final payments until any and all such liens are removed. You should consult an attorney if a lien is filed against your property.”

AREAS NOT INSPECTED PLEASE READThis report is an inspection for wood destroying pests and organisms to a furnished, occupied structure. Some areas of the structure were inaccessible for inspection due to furnishings, appliances, floor covering, and/or stored personal property. We did not inspect areas immediately under furnishings or appliances, nor did we inspect inside finished walls or ceilings. Our inspection does not include any electrical, heating, air conditioning, structural adequacy, pest other than wood destroying pest or mechanical systems of the structure and will not detect building code violations. The plumbing was inspected and only the leaks outlined in our report were found at this time. However, we assume no responsibility for leaks that occur after the date of this inspection. There may be health related issues associated with the findings reflected in this report. We are not qualified to and do not render an opinion concerning any such health issues. The inspection report was limited to the visible and accessible areas only. Questions concerning health related issues, which may be associated with the findings or recommendations reflected in this report, the presence of mold, the release of mold spores or concerning indoor air quality should be directed to a Certified Industrial Hygienist. We did not inspect the interior of enclosed abutments or hollow stucco rails. As is standard practice within our industry and since our inspectors do not carry a 30' ladder on their vehicle, the eaves, wood siding and wood windows above 11' were only inspected visually from the ground. Upon request and at an additional charge HomeGuard Incorporated will return to the property and further inspect these inaccessible areas by probing the wood members. The inaccessible areas listed above which were not inspected will be inspected upon the owner's request and will be conditional to additional inspection fees.

NOTE: WE GUARANTEE ALL REPAIRS DONE BY THIS COMPANY FOR ONE (1) YEAR AND FUMIGATIONS FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) YEARS FROM THE DATE OF COMPLETION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PLUMBING, GROUTING, CAULKING, RAIN GUTTERS AND RE-SETTING OF TOILETS WHICH ARE GUARANTEED FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF COMPLETION. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE WORK PERFORMED BY OTHERS. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE AGAINST FUTURE INFECTIONS, ADVERSE CONDITIONS, OR CONDITIONS PRESENT BUT NOT EVIDENT AT THE TIME OF OUR INSPECTION.

THE EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE ROOF WAS NOT INSPECTED. IF YOU WANT THE WATER TIGHTNESS OF THE ROOF DETERMINED, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A ROOFING CONTRACTOR WHO IS LICENSED BY THE CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE BOARD.

NOTICE: Reports on this structure prepared by various registered companies should list the same findings (i.e. termite infestations, termite damage, fungus damage, etc.). However, recommendations to correct these findings may differ from company to company. You have the right to seek a second opinion from another company.

"This company will reinspect repairs done by others within four months of the original inspection. A charge, if any, can be no greater than the original inspection fee for each reinspection. The reinspection must be done within ten (10) working days of request. The reinspection is a visual inspection and if inspection of concealed areas is desired, inspection of work while in progress will be necessary. Any guarantees must be received from parties performing repairs." Work performed by others will be reinspected for a fee of $195.00 for each trip out to the property. Open wall and open floor inspections are desirable if certification is required.


THIS IS A SEPARATED REPORT WHICH IS DEFINED AS SECTION I AND SECTION II CONDITIONS EVIDENT ON THE DATE OF INSPECTION. SECTION I CONTAINS ITEMS WHERE THERE IS EVIDENCE OF ACTIVE INFESTATION, INFECTION, OR CONDITIONS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN OR FROM INFESTATION OR INFECTION. SECTION II ITEMS ARE CONDITIONS DEEMED LIKELY TO LEAD TO INFESTATION OR INFECTION BUT WHERE NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF SUCH WAS FOUND.

NOTICE TO OWNER "Under the California Mechanics Lien Law any structural pest control company which contracts to do work for you, any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, supplier or other person who helps improve your property, but is not paid for his or her work or supplies, has a right to enforce a claim against your property. This means that after a court hearing, your property could be sold by a court officer and the proceeds of the sale used to satisfy the indebtedness. This can happen even if you have paid your structural pest control company in full if the subcontractor, laborers or suppliers remain unpaid. To preserve their right to file a claim or lien against your property, certain claimants such as subcontractors or material suppliers are required to provide you with a document entitled "Preliminary Notice". Prime contractors and laborers for wages do not have to provide this notice. A Preliminary Notice is not a lien against your property. Its purpose is to notify you of persons who may have a right to file a lein against your property if they are not paid."

NOTICE "The charge for service that this company subcontracts to another registered company may include the company's charges for arranging and administering such services that are in addition to the direct costs associated with paying the subcontractor. You may accept HomeGuard Incorporated's bid or you may contract directly with another registered company licensed to perform the work. If you choose to contract directly with another registered company, HomeGuard Incorporated will not in any way be responsible for any act or omission in the performance of work that you directly contract with another to perform."
